I thought we had too many players now & would have to be leaving players out of the squad registration process, like JFC . How are we now going to encompass 2 more ?
I tell you what Golfie, let's leave it to the club, I'm sure they know the rules and will sort it out for ya...
Ah, the Golfie backlash begins after quite a few were coming round to his way of looking at things. Amazing what 3 last minute signings can do.

I don't get you sometimes. You moan that we haven't signed enough players and now you're moaning we've signed too many.
I think you could have ended that post after the seventh word and it would have been equally valid

At the moment we have 23 players, excluding goalkeepers, who don't count, but that includes Dempsey who won't get a squad place. So in reality that is 22. If we brought in a new GK the number remains at 22. No point in considering JFC before the next transfer window so leaves a place for say a LB. if we were to consider a striker as well then I expect Schwartz won't be included and will be on his way. So a GK, LB and striker could come in with Dempsey, JFC and Schwartz not included in the squad and the number is 22.
Had Town not been able to name a club-developed player in their 22-man squad, they would have been restricted to naming just six substitutes unless they then called on an academy player under the age of 21 to sit on the bench for every game.
I suspect having Albie Morgan or Deji Elerewe on the bench ticks this box.

I wasn't moaning at all. I was simply asking a question.....I thought the ? at the end of my post would have given that away.

Thank you.
That was all I was asking for. No need for some posters to immediately think negatively of me.

Wonder if Clare and Arter would count?
I also wonder when the last time we fielded an all academy midfield duo/trio was in a league game?

Agreed, it's tiresome when some posters insist on always assuming the worst in a situation.

Harness? Or doesn’t he count as a keeper?
Possibly joined too late, while Clare probably too early.
The Ipswich article above says Bonne doesn't count despite being in their academy (wiki suggests he left at about 14).

In my opinion... Great window. Strong team. Spent well over £1,000,000 signing young, talented, motivated players on long term contracts. Also signed players with links to CAFC (Lee, Arter, Leko & Clare) and signed natural leaders and players of the season (Lavelle Kirk & MacG). I also think the temperament of the players we've brought in has been well thought through.
Whats not to like? Yes, we might be a LB or a ST short, but I reckon we might dip into the free transfer market to plug whatever minute holes there might be.
Finally, a sensible window, not one where our sole target is to bring In 'bodies.'
Wow we spent a million. I will go Charlton and support the team as Always but I'm not expecting us to be anywhere near the play-offs. I think this is a below average squad. I hope I am wrong I honestly do. Playing some youngsters through the season will keep me interested and then mount a challenge next season. I'm not in a rush for promotion like others

See this is completely unnecessary. The bloke is not being unduly negative or slagging anyone yet being called a cock for have a view contrary to the main.
Many of us who aren't hailing this as a great transfer window/ have concerns about how objective the Roddy jr signing is or how seemingly last minute the recruitment strategy are mocked as having sand in our privates or being unhappy or angry at the world.
All a bit unnecessary and turns the forum into an echo chamber and dont see need to pour scorn on fellow Charlton fans who have different opinions on current squad.
Dont think it is leftfield or overly negative to say that not having a fit left back at the club at this stage is concerning.
Hopefully it'll click and we will be up there competing in top six and we'll all be happy and whilst probably many of us are less concerned than 24 hours ago I dont think we've necessarily got depth of squad to guarantee top 6 challenge and a lot riding on Stockley performing for 40 plus games.
It's healthy surely to have different views and civily debate them without the personal snide digs.
Appreciated mate. I've got no problem being called a cock, not the 1st or last time I'm sure. Bit snide like you say. I have not been a negative poster over the years in my opinion. I'm just not as as optimistic as most this season, sorry and I hope I'm wrong. Like you said it's healthy to have different views. Some fans may be put off expressing their views if they are gonna get digged it out and that's not a forum I'd enjoy.
Re: talk of squad list etc., separate to that is the also mentioned match day squad (in relation to that team in Suffolk who must not be mentioned)
L1 rules are for the match day squad to include a “club developed player”, stated as one who was with the club for at least a year prior to their 19th birthday
Harness as previously stated not counted, as he joined too late. Deji seems eligible. I also can’t see why it wouldn’t include Arter - he didn’t leave until he was nearly 20.

Good to clarify that rule. In that case Clare will also count, as will AMB if he returns in January.

Fickle fate.
Are the CL waffle squad reving up the wokebus engine?
Couple of "out of contracts" would indeed round off this window nicely and invoke a hearty "Huzzah!" from me to the recruitment team.
😂
Apparently one player in the squad has to be club developed too, which is good news for Albie
I remember that rule when playing Football Manager during Lockdown 1!

Answer - we couldnt get away with it but I'm sure Derby or Sheff W could.
He's 31 now
